Some pieces about Game design

“Strictly speaking, there’s no such thing as invention, you know. It’s only magnifying what already exists.”

Allie Fox (played by Harrison Ford),

The Mosquito Coast

很欣赏这句话，简单地把创新的实质描述了出来。

A video game artist or animator should study the basics of fine art: art theory, art history, composition, color, form, space, and light. Just because video game artists compose their work on computers does not exempt them from having to understand traditional art.

But, I don’t view games as something that has to become a part of your weekly or daily schedule. They are supposed to be there for when you WANT to play, not to make you feel like you have an obligation to play.
